The Colored Female at Minneapolis.


A colored woman named Hollingsworth
is delegate from some Southern State to
the Knights of Labor convention at Mime
apolis. She appears to be one of that kind
of women who raise up their voices in pub
lie assemblies. There is nothing to be said
against her on that account, however, as
many good women nowadays talk as elo-
quently and sensbly as men, in conventions
and from the lecture platform. There
is some reason for objecting to some
of her sentiments. however In the
course of her remarks she said that she rep
resented the colored people of the South,
and that in her opinion there was bond of
unity between the people of Ireland and
her people. She wanted the Irish leader,
Mr.. Davitt, TO visit the South and see the
condition Of the colored people, which she
described as being "worse than in the
slavery days"
1t is safe to say that the colored people do
not agree with their delegate respecting
their condition. As a rule, they appear to
be very well satisfied with their surround
ings. They are about as contented as any
people on the face of the earth, and they
Aoh uplput w HuNe many CARTS VI tiOuDleS.
They have about all the necessaries of life
and they don't labor as hard and as contin-
uously as many of the white people do.
As for their material and moral condition.
it is steadily improving. 1t is the fault of
the colored people themselves that it doesn't
improve faster. They have about the same
chance for getting ahead in tho world that
those of the white people have who are no
more abundantly provided with this worlds
goods than they are. The schools are open
to them, and there is no discrimination
against them in any of the avenues in
which living is to be earned
They can become farmers and landowners
if they want to, with the assurance that
| they will get Just as much for their cotton.

Autumn's Tapestry.

In times of old, when war was done,
The battle fought and victory won,
The fairest women of the land,
The artist mind and leftest hand,
With loon and shuttle ceaselessly
Adorned the glowing tapestry
With pictures fair, with skill inwrought,
OF battles fierce by heroes fought;
And all the deeds that valor true
Achieved for right rise to the view;
The fabrics rich are hung around
The palaces where kings are crowned.
So after Spring has passed away,
With fresh green fields and blossoms gay
And Summer from the land has fled
And left her beauties lying dead,
Then autumn, glowing queen, weaves fair,
Her tapestry IN colors rare;
Springs ''cloth of gold" and tulip glow
With summers fire OF scarlet blow
And yellow CLEAN aud rosy blush
All Join to shine in radiant flush
In autumn's weaving hanging high
Against the walls Of deep blue SKY.
SLYTHE TABOR.

Henry George is expanding part of his
energy in attacking the system prevalent in
New York of assessing candidates for
valuable offices thousands of dollars. AS
long as he is on this line he must have the
sympathy Of all except the politicians. AS
long as candidates can be made to pay
large sums to reward the small politicians
for their support there will be little chance
to reduce the compensation paid certain
officials to something like the worth of
their services. The present system is a
fertile source of corruption, especially in
New York municipal politics.

1t is constantly being said that the foreign
steamship lines do not pay. 1t is to be OBJ

building larger and more costly vessels.
The Hamburg line has just determined upon
the construction of two of the finest steam
ships ever built to add to its already large
feet. So much money would hardly be ex-
pended if previous ventures of the same
sort had not brought in good returns.

ENCOURAGING Immigration.

The people of Florida are working in the
right way. They appreciate the fact that
what is most needful to their prosperity is
the diffusion of information as to the advan-
tages of the State as a place of resi-
dence A concerted movement to thoroughly
advertise the State and induce immigration
is now on foot, and there is no doubt the
public spirited people of Florida will aid it
in every way possible. An important meet
ing of the Executive Committee of the
Florida immigration Association was held
in Jacksonville day or two ago, the mem
bers Of which are leading citizens, repre-
senting every part of the State. Agents
will be appointed to organize branch associ-
ations in the different counties, and every
effort will be put forth TO make the move
ment popular one. The expense need not
be very great, and if any considerable pro-
portion of those who will be benefited con
tribute to the fund the tax will be very
light
The aid which has been proffered by the
railroads, of which mention has already
been made by the MORNING NEWS, will
prove very valuable supplement to the
work done by the State Association. Per
haps through no other agency can effective
advertising be done so cheaply as through
the Northern railroads, and as half the
money spent to induce travel to Florida will
be contributed by them, they will be GER
tain to see that it is judiciously expended.
There is no reason why Florida should
not profit by the methods which have made
the Western States rich. Their lands are
now held at high prices, they are thickly
populated, and they are studded with
large cities and prosperous towns. One of
the principal factors in their rapid growth
has been the skill and persistency with
which they have advertised their resources.
The same methods will produce like effect
in'Florida, for her attractions, if dissimilar,
are yet equally as great as those of the
West

Investigation is making it plain that a
determined effort was made by the railroads
to bride numerous members of the New

to have resented the offer of money for his
vote, and several confessed that they had

pented. The average price seems to have been
about 81 600 which is somewhat more than
